Boost Movement

Fun!

During Snowboard Training we get plenty of flexion and extension at the joints of the lower body. Often our upper body remains in strong and stable positions of balance including our arms!

Battle Rope Movements like in the video teach you how to move and use your arms to help in power and explosiveness in your snowboard movements. Improves energy efficiency of your movements while maintaining a strong stable core and neutral spine.

Great for muscle endurance and breaking up tight muscle and connective tissue in your core, chest, back, and arms.

One of the few exercises I've found that truly parallels snowboard specific movement patterns. The 2-Hand Sit & Drive using an Onnit Steel Club mimics the feeling of changing from edge to edge on your snowboard under load and force.

Helps develop smooth and responsive flexion and extension movements with your hips, knees, and ankles while maintain and long, straight spine and stacked and stable upper body through the full range of motion. Develops edge pressure management skills, energy management, as well as rhythm and timing under natural and unnatural loads and forces.

Great Kettlebell Flow from an awesome trainer at the Onnit Academy in Austin, TX.

This past weekend I had the honor of attending the Onnit Academy Battle Ropes Specialist Certification led by Onnit Master Coach Aaron Guyett.

Aaron is also a U.S. Marine Combat Instructor and the owner of Innovative Results Gym in Orange County, California. Aaron has a unique coaching style which blends traditional story telling, motivational messaging and articulate technical instruction that seamlessly flows together allowing students to absorb and retain a great deal of information in a short period of time.

During the certification, Aaron tells the story of a boy by the name of Alva who failed over and over and over again in his attempts to successfully create what may be one of the greatest inventions of our time. Thomas "Alva" Edison, the inventor of the incandescent light bulb failed around 10,000 times before he found success. Yet, Alva never adopted the mindset of failure.

”I have not failed. I’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t work.”

“Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time."

“Genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration.”

- Thomas Edison

Failure leads to success. Stay focused, work hard and develop the mindset to persevere and push through when you feel like giving up. Learn from your mistakes and improve upon them until you find your success.
